That is not the question I am asking. Does Mr. Algeo not find it extraordinary that an entity would take out a loan at a 9% interest rate at a time when interest rates were at rock bottom or very low? Commercial decisions have to be taken. Mr. Algeo is in the commercial world and knows how it works with the laws of economics. One must try to get the best price. Why did the company go for a loan with a 9% interest rate?
